Maybe as we get to shorter days and are out of the car more often. We have spent the last two days largely getting out of the west. Things slow down a big now.

We started this morning in Twin Falls Idaho overlooking the Snake River gorge that runs right next to the town. Spectacular view.

Then Jerry attempted to push Stan over the edge... but it didn't work.

Finally we got to Colorado and ended the day in Kremling, Another long day and hopefully the last this year. We will get to stop more from now on.

Yesterday I knew I was in trouble when Jerry got the bat out in the truck. Today they tried pushing me into the Snake even though I set the table at breakfast. Colorado is beautiful though.............SIGH

The bridge above the Snake River is nearly 500 feet above the river. The view is breathtaking. Also, it's one of the few places in the country where is it legal to base jump from a public bridge. We were at this spot a few years ago and watched as several people climbed over the rail and make the leap. It took your breath away. We were there early this morning and hoped to photo jumpers in action and to rent a parachute for Stan :shock: but we were the only ones in the parking lot. Perhaps with a little push Stan will jump next year. ;)
